Reborn Wangjia's little koi, reclaiming wasteland and farming to become the richest man

Chapter 124 Xu Da
"Where does Third Aunt have time to do this?"

Standing in the distance, Sheng Jiaojiao said with a smile:

"The third aunt is still busy fertilizing and planting grass. I told Etuo that I will buy a batch of fruit tree seedlings this year. He is probably on the way by this time."

And said:

"When the fruit trees are planted, the third lady will still be busy picking fruits. Let the little girl do the sweeping at home. Wouldn't it save some effort?"

When Miss Qi San in the forest heard this, she really thought about it, and after thinking about it, she frowned and asked:

"I still want to plant fruit trees at home? I doubt whether these fruits can grow, and I still spend money to buy fruit trees."

Everyone in the Qi family knew that it was their luck that among the many trees sold by Chaozong, there happened to be such an apple tree.

This apple tree happened to be revitalized by the Qi family.

The Qi family blamed all of this on luck, so they don't know if they will survive if they plant fruit trees again this year.

People who want to live in Zhishou County have no experience in planting trees. They don't know how that apple tree lives. The weather is so cold this year, and there are still faint signs of sprouting.

"Why can't it grow? Third aunt, don't be so unconfident."

Sheng Jiaojiao smiled and stood in the distance, covering her nose with a round fan.

It's not that she must be so squeamish, but that she's used to being particular about it. If there's nothing she can do about it, she can't let her, a person who has spent a lifetime in luxury, pick up shit.

That's not all.

I only heard Sheng Jiaojiao say again:

"The fruit trees will arrive soon. I will plant a few orchards on the edge of the pasture. I think it will be good. My third aunt doesn't need people. When I get busy, I'm afraid I don't have enough people."

The order of fruit trees from Etuo was paid when it was still snowing.

Seeing that the number of trees sent by Chaozong every day is getting less and less, Sheng Jiaojiao knows that the abandoned prince has given up the idea of ​​planting trees in the nobleman's mansion.

They gradually accepted the harsh environment of Zhishou County, planted a batch of trees, and then died a batch of trees. Finally, looking at the withered trees in the yard, the mood of the people who abandoned the Prince's Mansion was even worse.

In the end, the abolished prince didn't mention it, and the people below didn't plant any more. Gradually, the zhezi who went to the imperial capital didn't mention the abolished prince's desire to plant green shade to enjoy himself.

Such a place does not drive itself crazy, it will drive others crazy.

Once the crown prince's mansion is abandoned and no trees are planted, the source of income that Chaozong went to will be cut off.

He no longer sent trees to Qi's family, Sheng Jiaojiao was a little unhappy instead.

The apple saplings on the edge of the soil depression will break through the ground in a few days. Whether the Chaozong will send the trees, how will they explain where those apple saplings come from?
It was as early as a month ago that Sheng Jiaojiao ordered the fruit seedlings from Etuo, and waited until they were planted before explaining the origin of those small apple saplings.

Finally, Mrs. Qi San was persuaded by Sheng Jiaojiao and agreed to take a servant to fertilize together. As soon as she left, Lian Xin brought the servant over.

But Sheng Jiaojiao stopped the boy, pointed to the cesspit in the backyard, and said to the boy:
"I have an order with you, and I can't tell anyone."

The young servant has a handsome face, and it is said that the ancestors of the family were officials. Because the grandfather was demoted, the whole family went to Zhishou County.

In order to get rid of slavery, all the old men in the family went to join the army, and the women in the family did not know where they went. It seemed that the grandfather who was an official was confined in the house in the north of the county and was not allowed to run around.

The north of the county is not safe, and a woman who is a slave and has no master is taken away as a slave and a prostitute, which does not violate the law.

This grandfather, who was once an official, could never allow women who were prostitutes to appear in his family, so he gathered the power of the family and supported these women with military pay.

When he came to this handsome boy, he really couldn't support him, so he taught Qi Zhang to bring him back to Qi's family and train him as a slave.

Even if the men in the family serve as slaves in the army, the women in the family would rather die than become prostitutes.

The first time Sheng Jiaojiao heard about this boy's life experience, he couldn't help feeling admiration for this boy's grandfather.

It's just that she has too many things to do recently, so she didn't ask carefully who the grandfather of the child was. She only ordered Lian Xin to take care of the child.

The servant's name was Xu Da, and when he heard Sheng Jiaojiao's words, he hurriedly bowed his hands,

"Follow Jiao Niang's orders."

"Good rules."

Sheng Jiaojiao glanced at Xu Da, with a surprised expression on his face, and asked:
"Before your family fell, was it a big portal?"

How well-bred a person is, can be seen from his every move, the bigger the family, the more particular about the rules and etiquette.

With just one look at Xu Da, Sheng Jiaojiao could tell that Xu Da's family was well-organized.

At a young age, Xu Da lowered his eyes and replied with a submissive look:

"Jiao Niang, my grandfather ordered you not to talk about the past when you arrive in Zhishou County, lest you feel ashamed and ashamed."

Sheng Jiaojiao swayed her wrist lightly, shook the round fan, looked at Xu Da carefully again, and responded slightly,
"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I'll tell you what you're going to do next."

She waved her hand, stepped forward with the round fan, covered her pink lips, and whispered a few words to Xu Da.

The meaning is, ask Xu Da to buy some empty jars and come back, fill them with [-]% of the manure and [-]% of the spices that can eliminate the smell.

Sheng Jiaojiao has already prepared the spices. They are all spices from other counties in Tu'etuo. The price is cheap and the output is large. Just a little bit can fill the whole house with fragrance.

No matter what, [-]% of the spices can cover up [-]% of the smell of feces.

As for why she did this, Sheng Jiaojiao didn't say, and Xu Da didn't ask either.

He folded his hands and left, and in less than an afternoon, he collected a cart full of empty jars from Nanji.

People were busy inside and outside the Qi family, and Sheng Jiaojiao made too many demands. Sheng Jiaojiao sent people to move out more than half of the four rooms of Qi's family and the things in the old lady's house, and only left a kang for each room. lie down.

Now that the Qi family is in chaos, the old lady Qi and Miss Qi can only take Wenxiu and the little girl Zhang in the cradle to do embroidery work near the Yexian Pavilion.

No one paid attention to Xu Da dragging back a cart full of empty jars.

When Niu Ju came to buy Zhongdibao, the empty jars were already filled with excrement, and there was no smell at all.

Even because of the effect of the spices, this kind of earth treasure still faintly exudes a strange smell of refreshing.

Niu Ju gave the money in good spirits, and left Qi's house dragging a cart of planting treasures, just in time to run into Niu Yuan who was bringing back the luggage.

Niu Yuan looked at his girl's excited appearance, but didn't know what happened, so he just asked Qi Rong, who came to pick up the mule,

"What is my girl doing here?"

Today's weather is good, although it is still very cold, but it is far less cold than before, Qi Rong is grinning, and now he has grown into a white and strong young man.

He said to Niu Yuan:

"Ju Niang contracted more than ten acres of land from my elder sister, and she just dragged a cart of planting treasures to fertilize the land."

"Ten acres of land???"

Niu Yuan stared, with a look of disbelief on his face, he raised his voice and asked:
"My girl has so much money?"

"Originally, there was none. My elder sister said to let her plant first, and use the harvest to pay for the rent, so she didn't collect money from Ju Niang."

After hearing what Qi Rong said, Niu Yuan felt relieved, and he put the whip for driving mules into Qi Rong's hand, saying:
"I'll go and have a look first, don't let her ruin the ground."

After all, Niu Yuan hurriedly followed Niu Ju, started from the back of the cart, and helped push it.

Niu Ju in front noticed that the cart was much lighter. She turned her head with sweat all over her face, and said pleasantly:

"Daddy?"

"You pull the cart, don't look back."

With a simple and honest smile on his face, Niu Yuan pushed the cart, step by step with Niu Ju to the edge of the water.

According to the land boundary marked in the contract, the father and daughter found the large piece of connected land. Now, because it is close to the water, the snow has only melted again, and there are a lot of wild vegetables growing on that land.

"Such a large piece of land, just these wild vegetables can make a lot of money."

Niu Yuan felt that he was making money, and saw that there were many women picking wild vegetables on this piece of land, so he said to his daughter standing beside him distressedly:

"Girl, your father also picked wild vegetables in this field before, and he never felt distressed. Now seeing them pick these wild vegetables, it hurts for some reason. You should fatten the field first, and father will go home. Find a back basket, let's pick these wild vegetables ourselves."

As soon as the snow melted, the soil in Zhishou County had water, and wild vegetables came out of the ground, but after picking this crop, there would be no next crop.

Therefore, this stubble of wild vegetables is very precious. They are picked a lot, and they can be eaten for a long time when they are fermented at home.

Niu Ju responded, and began to measure the land she had contracted to plant, then turned her head to look at the sparkling water in the setting sun, and stretched comfortably.

If these ten acres of land are planted and there is a big harvest every year, she will become richer and richer. Although she is not as good as Jiaojiao, compared with the people in the whole village, she should be considered rich. .

But at this moment, Niu Ju suddenly realized that those men, whether it was the man her mother asked her to marry, the man with a dozen sheep on the set, or Qi Zhang, seemed to be no longer important at this moment. .

Marriage, where is making money important?

It was also at this moment that Niu Ju finally understood why Sheng Jiaojiao loved making money so much.

The taste of making money is really fascinating.

Niu Ju was thinking in her heart, and she had to discuss it with her father for a while. After picking the wild vegetables, she had to hire some people to plow the field, and someone had to watch over the treasures of planting land in the field, and put more than ten mu of land in the field. After digging, the treasures of planting land will be immediately sprinkled.

It is estimated that the planting treasure of this cart is not enough.

Didn't Jiaojiao say that the land will be fattened every once in a while, and gradually, the land will become fatter and fatter.

The left and right planting treasures are also cheap. Just such a cart of planting treasures still doesn't get two or three days' wages for cows and chrysanthemums.

However, since Uncle Niu went back to pick up the basket, Niu Ju waited in the field until the full moon rose, but did not wait for Father to come back.

She was a little worried that something had happened to Dad, so she called a lady she knew who was digging wild vegetables nearby, gave her a few copper coins, and asked the lady to help her look at the treasures of the land for a night, and hurried home to find Ah father.

As soon as she got home, before Niu Ju entered the house, she heard her father and mother arguing inside the house.

I only heard A Niang crying and crying:
"This shabby place, you and I have spent our entire lives here. Do you still want our girl to also be abandoned here? What kind of land? Wouldn't it be better to just marry a rich man? I also think about our girl. .”

"I didn't say it's bad to marry a rich man, but you have never met this merchant before, so you agreed directly. What if he is not a good man?"

Niu Yuan's voice was a little tired. He had quarreled with Xiong Lin all these years, but he had never won an argument.

He gave in everything he could, and gave everything he could give, but this time, he didn't dare to nod.

There is no other reason. The person who made the bridge was his brother-in-law Xiong Jun. If this person was involved, Niu Yuan would not dare to agree to this marriage.

What kind of person is his wife and younger brother? He is the kind of ignorant person in the world. For more than ten years, Xiong Jun has personally proved to everyone around him that he is a dou who cannot be supported.

Such a person finds someone for Niu Ju, does Niu Yuan dare to agree?

So Xiong Lin quarreled with him for several hours, which naturally delayed him to pick wild vegetables in a basket.

Under the night, the stench of the soil seeped into Niu Ju's nostrils, her eyes were red, she turned around and left her home.

She didn't know how long she had been walking like this, and she didn't know where she was going. When she came to her senses, Niu Ju was standing in the yard of Qi's family.

After a few days of preliminary preparations, the yard of Qi's family was dug up in a mess, several women in the village were hired by Sheng Jiaojiao to work, and they haven't left yet, they have been busy talking and laughing in the kitchen.

The wages of the Qi family are high, and those who come to the Qi family to help with work are all provided with food, but at the Qi family, they can eat meat for every meal.

Despite eating like this, the bacon hanging on the beams of Qi’s house has not decreased, because Qi’s family has been collecting meat. In addition to spending money to buy it from the village, Qi Zhang will bring a lot of prey every time he goes home return.

It's the same with Tan Ji. He and Qi Zhang have been leading troops in the north of the county. When they are not fighting, they will go hunting wild animals on the border of the vassal state.

Therefore, a lot of bacon was hung on the roof beams of the Tan family.

Now that the Tan family is going to rebuild the house, Mrs. Tan and the uncle lived in the Qi family. They brought all the bacon from the Tan family and piled it up in the yard one by one. There was no place to put it.

Aunt Tan is also a generous person. Every time she cooks, she brings out the Tan family's bacon, but the Qi family's meat has never been eaten.

Niu Ju looked at the laughing and chatting ladies in the kitchen of Qi's family, feeling complicated in her heart, she turned around abruptly, and just as she was about to leave, someone called her from behind.

"Chrysanthemum?"

Hearing this voice, Niu Ju was startled, she turned around with tears in her eyes, it was Qi Zhang.

He seemed to just go out of the house for a walk, and as soon as he came out, he saw Niu Ju standing in his yard with a broken expression.

Qi Zhang frowned slightly, stepped forward and asked with concern:
"Ju Niang, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah, I'm fine, fine."

Opening her mouth, although Niu Ju said she was fine, her eyes turned red with grievance as soon as she finished speaking.

Now Qi Zhang was a little shocked, his brows were frowned even tighter, he couldn't help but took a step back, tilted his head and said:

"Otherwise, I'll go find Jiaojiaoer over here?"
